Charles Oliveira has lost his UFC lightweight title before he could even step into the Octagon on Saturday.
Incredibly, the former featherweight who had well-documented troubles cutting to 145 lbs has now come in over the lightweight title limit of 155 lbs. Even with the extra hour, Oliveira was unable to budge an ounce from 155.5 lbs, and as a result Saturday’s UFC 274 main event vs. Justin Gaethje now only has one fighter who’s eligible to win the belt.
Charles Oliveira has missed weight on his second attempt. 155.5lbs. He will be stripped of his UFC Lightweight Championship.
